Ben Rice, Paul Goldschmidt put on power show in Yankees’ win

SEATTLE — Yankees first basemen of all ages delivered the thump to make sure they got out of T-Mobile Park with a series win.

On a day when Cam Schlittler dominated again before the bullpen made things hairy late, Ben Rice and Paul Goldschmidt each homered and combined to drive in all five runs to secure a 5-3 win over the Mariners on Wednesday afternoon.

Rice started and ended the scoring, ripping an RBI double in the first inning before crushing a 427-foot blast in the ninth for his first home run of the year.

The lefty slugger reached base eight times in the three-game series, continually in the middle of rallies.

“His at-bats have been outstanding,” manager Aaron Boone said. “This whole series — really the entire trip, but especially this series, I feel like, man, the patience, not missing his pitches, he’s found a couple holes and then really good swing on that last changeup to extend the lead for us on a no-doubter to right-center. He feels dialed in to me and obviously we know what he’s capable of.”

Rice acknowledged a “couple bounces went my way down the line, but I think the quality of at-bat overall has been good.”
